Pros

Great exposure to medical industry with extensive company reach. Rewarding work with clear understanding of product impact on people's lives. Annual review process of performance goals set with management facilitates personal growth, but doesn't directly relate to promotion.

Cons

Slow to respond to market needs as development projects often take a long time to get through the pipeline. Decision makers in remote locations direct projects, making it challenging to engage/interact and creating an environment of constantly changing goals.

Pros

Generous, old-school benefits. Almost twice the PTO as other places I've worked, excellent healthcare, 401K matching, etc. Many high-quality colleagues and a generally mellow, polite business culture.

Cons

Multiple competing bureaucracies, internal consultancies, a computer-illiterate 'stakeholder' class with permission to disrupt anything, and perverse incentives driving waste.
